We invite you to join us for our God's Work, Our Hands day of service!

Several times per year here at Gloria Dei, as a continuation and expansion of the ELCA initiative God's Work, Our Hands, we emphasize a special way of living out our faith by worshiping through our service. On several Sundays each year, we go about our morning at church a little differently. Instead of holding our customary 9am worship service in our sanctuary, we gather together on our patio for communion, a word of commissioning, and a sending out to serve. Then, we move into the community (both on our campus and in the neighborhood) in teams to serve on many outreach projects. We work to plan and provide opportunities to serve that allow everyone from young to young at heart to participate in projects inside and outside as they are able, all benefiting or connecting to our local and global community. It is our hope to build on this movement, increasing the frequency of these days of service as we go forward in faith together!

Gracious Invitation

We invite you to be a part of our God's Work, Our Hands day of service in the community!

WE WILL... seek to understand new perspectives, recognize the value and importance of all people, extend grace to those around us and ourselves, invite others to engage with us, work hard and be willing to sacrifice, stretch our comfort zones, be fully present with those who we serve, be led by the example of Christ.

WE WILL NOT... impose our expectations on others, discriminate or judge, engage in aggressive recruitment, act from fear or anxiety, focus on things beyond our control, belittle or mistreat anyone for any reason.
